I can recall reading the same types of dicussions on the mailing lists for Java projects ( Ant and JEdit to be specific ). It was even worse with java as there was a large amoutn of change between early versions. Wheras 1.1 of the framework could almost be considerd a bug fix release in terms of breaking changes.
I don't think we'll need to fork the codebase - I just think that when we do force a newer framework version people on an older platform will just use an older NAnt until they upgrade.

Which version of the framework to run on is going to be a perennial problem. There are going to be features in the upcoming version of the .NET runtime which, if you guys choose to take advantage of them might force a fork in the code bases - I'm not sure what the Mono guys have plannned as far as supporting generics goes.
I know of a number of organisations that are planning on being on 1.0 for atleast the next 12 months - in twelve months its likely that NAnt will need to be starting to build in support for upcoming versions of the framework, it might just been too hard to manage in one code base. Unfortunately I know.

I've been testing Nunit 2.1 and it seems ok - except for needing to re-compile all 2.0 version tests. We're waitning on the NUnit team for a response to a number of queries about shipping 2.1. With luck we should have it in 0.9.
The problem with building against 1.1 is that a 1.1 build will not work on 1.0 whereas a 1.0 one will work fine on both. If everyone has moved to 1.1 then thats not a problem but I'm not sure thats the case.
The other option is to ship two builds - one for each platform.

to get theIt would be great to see NUnit 2.1 plugged in. I'd also like to see 1.1 as the default. Ian - do you think it would be possible
ReplaceTask into the core if I can make it more robust?
